Im recieving a free sample of Dr Rumneys Export from Tom at Nicotine Rush. Wondered what to expect from it? Has anyone here tried it? and what are your thoughts?
It is a pleasant mentholated snuff. I also received it as a sample, and enjoyed it.
I doubt if Tom is sending out samples of Dr. Rumney’s Export, which goes for $3.99 for 6.5 grams in the cool little dispenser. It’s the Dr. Rumney’s Exclusive Menthol, which is good snuff, but it’s not the same thing.
LHB is correct. Dr Rumneys and Rumneys Export are 2 different, although similar, items.
I’m guessing that the Dr. Rumney’s of South Africa is an imitation of the old Illingsworth Dr. Rumney’s Mentholyptus that is no longer made. Cany anyone comment on that? I keep losing on vintage tins of it on ebay 
Who makes this Dr. Rumney’s from South Africa?
Don’t know who makes it, but I know it’s damn good. It had been speculated that it uses the original recipe.
Don’t know about the Dr Rumney’s Exclusive Menthol, but Swedish Match S. Africa do the Rumney’s Export.
Ok, so Rumney’s Export is made in South Africa? What else does SM S.A. make then? Leonard Dingler is Swedish Match no more, correct? I’m helping dajawu (Al) to update and otherwise clean up Snuff Reviews, so this kind of info is helpful.
Both Rumneys are made in SA by different mills. Tucky is also made in SA (I think).
@ Xander; I think the Hedges L260, J&H Wilson’s, Singletons Menthol and Kensington English Menthol. There will be more! My Rumney’s, Singletons and Kensington says imported by Arnold Andre, with the Tobacco Warning in German.
Ok. I’m getting confused. I thought the J&H Wilson and Hedges were owned by Imperial. The others I have no first hand experience with except the South African Singleton’s which I thought was made by Van Erkoms. The German (formerly English?) Singletons, yes is Arnold André. Are they not made in Germany?
@ Xander, I may be the one confusing you! Don’t take my word as gospel as I’m an old git! Think we need ermtony to sort it out…
Who? Me? I’m still struggling to work out who owns what, who produces what and where what is produced! Confused? You will be 
My best guesses: Made by Imperial, made in the UK: Hedges, JH Wilsons. Made by Swedish Match, imported by Arnold Andre, made in South Africa: Rumney’s Export, Kensington, Singleton’s, Tucky, Alpen Prise. Made by someone, made in South Africa: Rumney’s Exclusive Menthol.
I think Pieter Claassen makes then all.
LOL Snuff Head. You are probably right! That was my understanding as well (what Cstokes’ wrote) except I thought they were made in Germany. I guess where they are made is not pertinant. It seems somewhat pointless to even have a Swedish Match category at Snuffreviews (or anwyehere) since all of those are (or should already be) in the Arnold Andre category. The Dingler ones remain in it currrently, surely they can have their own as well. That leaves nothing under Swedish Match itself. Then there’s the question of where to fit in the oddball Singletons from South Africa and those others that turned up recently (like the Dr. Rumney). Pieter had told me some came from Van Erkom’s. That may be Arnold Andre’s equivalent in South Africa. I guess I have to wait for him to come back from vacation. If anyone else has info/suggestions, please chime in.
In a similar vein; who makes Jaxons?
Tis a secret.
Free Sample: Dr Rumneys Export That was copied and pasted from my reciept, so idk if he made a mistake or if im actually getting a free sample… but either way from what you guys are sayin both are good snuff’s.
im not sure, I think so, but it was in a black crush box so i couldnt be 100% sure
